1 Intrductin Energy Transitin Partnership Draft Orientatin Paper The energy system is crucial t the future prsperity and liveability f Eurpean cities. It prvides a smart integrated system that is able t meet a city s energy demand in the mst carbn and cst efficient way. A city s energy demand includes every day chices and activities pursued by its citizens and business as well as the peratin f its supprting infrastructure t allw the city t perate effectively. This system needs t be secure, resilient, affrdable, clean and sustainable. If cities want t have a bright future that vercmes the challenges that they face, then they need t think carefully abut hw they develp their future energy system. Energy transitin is a lng-term structural change in energy systems aimed at develping a secure, affrdable and climate friendly energy system better able t manage and balance dynamic patterns f supply and demand frm a natinal and even Eurpean level right dwn t a lcal level. This must enhance bth natinal and Eurpean energy security while ensuring energy equality: affrdable energy accessible by all citizens. The wrd transitin alludes t the change frm a present state t a future ne. This undertaking cnsists f integrating innvative smart technlgy and cntrl systems in rder t help ptimise the effective use f energy and minimise primary energy demand, thrugh fr example better cntrl f energy use in buildings and the integratin f city infrastructure and energy planning.

The energy system is fundamental t enabling a successful and cst-effective energy transitin in the EU. The future prsperity and liveability f Eurpean cities depend n creating a smarter, mre integrated energy system at an EU, natinal and lcal level; a system that is secure, resilient, affrdable, clean and sustainable. A system-level apprach that will: minimise energy demand; diversify ur energy surces; maximise cst effective cmbinatins f strage ptins; deply smart platfrms, technlgies and cntrls and management t: create a mre integrated, smarter and mre decentralised energy system; ptimise use f secndary energy surces; prvide affrdability and chice t cnsumers; enable custmers t be energy prsumers - bth cnsumers and prducers. Majr challenges f Energy Transitin are: Implement the required Disruptive Apprach; Create a new smart, integrated energy system with greater levels f decentralizatin delivering a secure, resilient, clean, lw carbn and affrdable energy system; Intrductin f the Circular Energy System: Reduce use, Reuse available secndary energy surces and then meet remaining energy demand with Renewable energy; 2

3 Creating an energy market that recgnises and rewards all players in enabling the transitin t a flexible demand-led energy system; Realising the financial benefits that such an energy market wuld deliver at a building, cmmunity, district and city level; Enabling new players with new business mdels t enter the market, such as civic energy which invlves peple and cmmunities r energy C-ps that re-invest prfits back int the cmmunity; Create a cherent and integrated regulatry framewrk that supprts this transitin at the EU, MS and lcal levels; T ensure n-ging cmpetitiveness f EU businesses and that EU businesses are part f the slutin, generating jbs and ecnmic activity; Transitin needs t be aware and supprtive f peple and businesses; Gaining scial/cmmunity invlvement; Renewables are imprtant part f the slutin but need a system that can accmmdate their intermittent nature and effectively integrate them; Ensure sustainable urban develpment plans and appraches, with energy masterplanning playing a key rle; Integratin with ther UA Partnerships and ther activities is essential; Gaining acceptance fr impact n the lcal envirnment and its aesthetics; Cmmn language between energy cmpanies and cities and cnsumers and their invlvement; Ensuring it addresses nt cmpunds energy pverty; Ensuring it delivers energy security and resilience. Majr Energy Transitin bttlenecks: Regulatry framewrk is hlding back the transitin; Incherent existing energy systems n state and city levels; Lack f technical and financial knwledge and capacity t deliver the radical transitin required; Lack f data and access t available data that can infrm and enable apprpriate and fcused prjects and prgrams; Lw prices f and subsidies fr fssil fuel energy; Lw price f carbn in ETS and lack f price f carbn in nn-ets sectrs effectively creates n market driver fr lw and zer carbn surces; Lack f invlvement f cnsumers and cmmunities, as well as DG Energy; Cmplex wnership structure f many types f buildings, bth residential and nn-residential; Lack f capacity fr cst-effective and efficient energy strage slutins, bth at the building and system level. 3

Aims and Objectives: t create a Smart, Integrated Energy System that is: Secure and Resilient An energy system that has a diverse and extensive range f energy surces that it has cntrl ver and strage capacity that it is able t utilise s that it is best able t meet the energy demand f its custmers under as brad a range f circumstances as pssible. This requirement f the system ensures that the design and cnfiguratin f the energy system allws it t mitigate against a diverse range f risks t energy availability ensuring that energy is available t as many f its custmers as cnsistently as is pssible. Affrdable, Fair and Equitable An energy system that makes effective use f energy utilising it as efficiently as pssible s that its energy can be supplied t all its cnsumers with the same level f service and in the mst cst-efficient way. This ensures that energy is supplied at a fair price that peple can affrd and at which business can maintain their cmpetitiveness. Clean and Sustainable An energy system that uses energy effectively by minimising demand, minimising wasted energy and then maximising the use f secndary and renewable energy surces t meet its remaining energy demand befre utilising high-efficiency c-generatin t meet the residual demand. It als minimises harmful gaseus and particulate emissins t the atmsphere t play an imprtant rle in imprving air quality in cities. This will be dne by adpting a systems-level apprach that creates a smart, integrated system f systems frm the fllwing fur system cmpnents all cnsidered and integrated thrugh an extensive energy masterplanning prcess: 4
